That Monti was super cool, I know you have an AWESOME recent full tank shot. How long will you keep up the suspense? Your Sump is better than alot of Displays I've seen, got pics of that?

Wow, that looks unreal. I love the fact that you posted all your pics in a row, very easy to see the progression.

Thanks.

Once I get up-to-date I will try and show progressive growth shots.

Then buy one when your tank is going! Post pics as your construction begins.

I have learned much from others posting about their tank builds, so I am trying to pass on what I have learned.

No rock touches any wall. I have read a few of Calfo's books and he recommends for best water flow (detritus suspension) to have everything free standing. Unfortunately some tanks make this hard to accomplish.

That is why I (and almost all experienced reefers) recommend custom made tanks that are as deep (front to back) as you can go. it just works soo much better!

Like an Amusement Ride for fish! My Lawnmower Blenny does that in my Tank, but I don't have enough flow to even phase my Flame Angel. How much are tickets? Can I bring my Angel there for a few rides?
